The Seahawks opened the 2024 season with a 26-20 victory over the Broncos, and a big key to that victory was the second-half performance of running back Kenneth Walker III, who had 84 of his 103 yards after halftime.
Walker was not, however, on the field late in the fourth quarter due to what was announced as abdominal pain. But after the game, Walker said he was fine when asked about the injury.
"I'm good," he said.
When Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald was later asked if Walker was OK, he said, "We think so, yeah. He got a little muscle thing. We'll see, we'll figure it out moving forward, but optimistic."
They lost right tackle George Fant in the first half due to a knee injury, with Stone Forsythe taking over and finishing the game.
Macdonald said Fant's injury was, "a little bit of a knee. Not sure what's going on. We'll figure that out."
